The Work Experience Certificate For Teacher (Arbeitszeugnis) is a crucial document in the German employment landscape, particularly within the education sector. It serves as an official record of a teacher's employment history and performance, which is legally required under German labor law (§ 630 BGB and § 109 HGB). This certificate must be provided when a teaching position ends or upon request during employment. It combines factual information about the employment period and responsibilities with a qualitative assessment of the teacher's performance, pedagogical skills, and professional conduct. The document plays a vital role in career advancement as it is commonly requested during job applications within the German education system. Its content must strike a balance between being truthful and benevolent, following established German legal precedents and coding systems commonly used in such certificates.
